Rear Creaking noise. any suggestions?
Anyone else have the same problem as me and/or knows how to fix it?
I have JIC coilovers and Stillen sways, ichiba fr/rr camber arms.
I have been looking through all the creaking threads and couldnt find anything specifically similar. I have done everything I can think of. greased the sway bushings, insulated the springs so theres no metal on metal rubbing, etc.
seems like the noise is coming from the center of the car. I suspected the TSb axle "clicking" problem, however it not only creaks over bumps and/or at low speeds but also getting in and out (or putting any weight in or out of the car) when parked. anyone have any input?
any help would be appreciated. thanks!

narrowed down the squeaks in the middle. now it it less but there is still a decent amount of noise. sounds likeit could be coming from the rear pillow ball mounts?? is that possible?

bump anyone else ahve any input? its really loud. like echos off buildings when I drive around. I put my stock suspension back on and it made no difference.its so irritating I want to get rid of this car.
I have had the same problem. Almost sounds like something loose or hanging and banging on something. Been under the car a million times even took it back to the dealership twice, took the mechanic for a ride to show him but they said everything was tight underneath (parts changers
). Only started doing it after I missed fourth gear really hard and jammed it into second
one night. Just got some spl solid bushings for the rear end so I have to drop the whole diff. I will go over everything with a fine tooth comb. Check your bushings for mysterious black goo leaks, that means the trashed and need to be upgraded. Otherwise hotdawwgman covered the usual suspects. Let ya know if I find something.

sounds good thanks. I also bought new rear swaybar endlinks. on the Z forums a few people recommended that it could be that. Ill keep you updated also.

was not the endlinks but i think I found the problem. seems to be the crappy camber arms I have which i have spc arms on order, and the bushings for the camber arms on the hub side. probably due to the bad construction of the arms as well as the stress on the bushings from when my car was slammed.
New bushings same old noise
Replaced the bushings,(what a pia) still have the noise. Now I have a differential whine above 40 mph but I like that noise
Also eliminated my ugly wheel hop. Gonna order camber arms next. Also just a side note, I have 60k mi keep in mind, but I flushed my diff fluid. It was NASTY black at the bottom. I highly recomend it. It's an 10$ bit of insurance.
